Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Stannite CuFeSnS and kesterite CuZnSnS were synthesized by an eco-friendly ball-milling method in an industrial mill. Both synthesized sulfides represent perspective materials in solar cell technology. Several characterization methods have been applied to determine the course of solid state mechanochemical reactions leading to the synthesis of potential chalcogenide solar cell absorbers. The phase and surface composition, solid state kinetics, and surface morphology of these quaternary sulfides were elucidated by the methods of X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Soxhlet analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The application of eccentric vibration mills for these syntheses constitutes the big challenge for researchers in the field of photovoltaics in their permanent effort in scaling up new materials and processes.
